Actually, I think I did just insult everybody by comparing them to the decadent prince of wales or somebody. I've just always loved the way it sounds.

This reminds me of trying to find a calculus class at the U of Chicago. All courses were taught by foreign grad students with varying degrees of fluency. First class, the guy was from Sri Lanka (I think; don't remember) and he wrote crepe on the board in his own language and would randomly lapse from impossible to understand English into other languages. He was a sweetheart who seemed genuinely pained that nobody understood him. DROP. Next guy was Russian with an accent so heavy it was almost a Rocky and Bullwinkle joke. DROP. Next guy was Irish, and he must have been from Galway or Mayo or somewhere because he had the thickest brogue I've heard outside Boston*. I understood him mostly fine, but nobody else did. I had to translate sometimes. It was sort of hilarious.

*the heaviest Irish accents I've ever heard anywhere have all been 3rd generation people from Boston who have never been to Ireland.

I heart you guys so hard! I hope to visit Scotland and Ireland some day. "My people" are Scots-Irish, and some day when I hit the lotto I'd like to truly trace my roots.

ETA: I kind of wish I had a wee Molly bird with me tonight. I'd share my wine I would.

I really need to go to Ireland soon. Trying to decide if a can live and work indefinitely without a laptop so I could go next summer. But, it would feel wrong for me to go and not give the money to my mom so she could go.

So yeah I think I'm definitely a bit of a flirtation instigator for shizzle, so, like... sorry (ish)! I do it with 100% grade A free range silliness. Just in case anyone was wundrin. Also I've met like a billion of ya'lls. (Okay I'm over exaggerating)

So far, I've laid the seitan out in a corn husk and sort of shaped the husk like a canoe around it, then I placed another husk overtop so it was completely covered and then I tied a husk at either end and hopefully it'll stay in there. It's definitely loosely wrapped and there's plenty of room to expand.

I don't think Mars is skeevy. It took me a bit to get used to, but I have seriously become a prude in my old age. I blame Wilson. He kept telling me it wasn't nice for a lady to make naughty jokes and it like, sunk in. I used to be boob jostler, believe.

ETA, I mean, look at my avatar! I used to go buck wild with brooms on my head in the club. (Funny because I'm drinking soda water with lime in the pic.)

Unless LW is referring to SV, in which case steaming seitan in corn husks? Totes skeevy.
